           Summary: Support different smart quote settings by language.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: PatrickNiedzielski at gmail.com


Different varieties of smart quote configurations should be allowed for each
language.  Currently, LibreOffice only allows one custom smart quote
configuration to be set, and it is used across all languages.  While using the
defaults will change them across all languages, if a custom configuration is
desired for only one language, it has to be done manually while typing.

For example, the default quote configuration of Esperanto in LibreOffice is
normal straight quotes, "like this".  Esperanto does not have any prescribed
quotation mark (or citsignoj in the language), so several styles are used.  I
personally learned the German style, „like this‟.  Other people use English
style “curly quotes”, and still others use French «guillemets» (sometimes
»reversed«).  When typing Esperanto, I wish to have smart quotes automatically
change the quotes to my preferred style.  On the other hand, I type English
just as much, and I can't change the smart quote settings, or it will also
change the English style.
